Tea Lady, thanks again for the visit and the pottery. Annie and I really like and appreciate your gift.

(no pics, sorry).

What is it that I do with all that gear in the shed? Not much, unfortunately. A kitchen to finish next week, then hopefully Box 15 (or is it 16?).

And all this after I spent a while sharpening the chisels..... And you only really wanted to use one or two. ('s favourite HT Euro spindle gouges no less. No surprises there!)

If DJ ever re-appears (and brings the little VL100 back for Xmas), I'll make sure that the lathe sits a little lower.

But I'm hoping there won't be any shortage of lathes. The more the merrier.

Just though Annie might apreciate something that wasn't wood.

No! I wanted too give you something worthy in exchange for the pile of red gum.

And all this after I spent a while sharpening the chisels..... And you only really wanted to use one or two. ('s favourite HT Euro spindle gouges no less. No surprises there!) Acshully, I wanted to use an ordinary spindle gouge. Where weere they?

But I do like the continental spindle gouge. Cos its wider and flatter it nearly like a curved skew.

But I still find skews a little nerve wracking.

If DJ ever re-appears (and brings the little VL100 back for Xmas), I'll make sure that the lathe sits a little lower. Maybe we could just stand on some red gum. Gotta use it for something.

But I'm hoping there won't be any shortage of lathes. The more the merrier.

I want someone to bring a pole lathe. They sound like a giggle.

Sounds like a fun weekend for all concerned! I don't think I've ever heard TL swear before - even with the &%#^ blotting it out...

As for the tool rack - very nice. Was it you or who wrote "Real Tools" on it

Cheers,
Dave

Dave, blame . He really frowned on all my scrapers and other "gimmick" tools. So when we loaded the rack up with all my skews, he couldn't help himself....

Don't get me wrong - I do use the "real" chisels often, but refuse point-blank to roll beads with a skew. 8 or 9 out of 10, OK. But then the inevitable catch.....

Yes can turn spindles all right .Now who's going to turn a box for one of his 20 ft spindles ?

Tl, you really were lost.
I lived i9n that area and drove those roads for years. Did you not notice that all roads off the Sturt between Naranderra and Wagg Wagga lead to Boree Creek?
